Rollins College Department of Art and Art History

Rollins College Department of Art and Art History Located at Rollins College, we house four academic programs: Art History, Studio Art, Classical Stud

The Department is home to four academic programs: Art History, Studio Art, Classical Studies (also housed in the Philosophy and Religion Department), and Archaeology (also housed in the Anthropology Department), and is located in the Cornell Fine Arts Center (CFAC). The art faculty are committed to the pursuit of serious scholarship and studio practice, and to providing a caring and rigorous educa

tion in the visual arts for our students. Faculty, staff and students make up a diverse and vibrant community bound together by the shared purpose of understanding the history, theory and practice of the visual arts. The curriculum supports majors and minors in the visual arts and students majoring in other disciplines who wish to engage in the study of art history or a structured studio experience as part of their liberal arts education at Rollins College. Our course offerings reflect the diversity of the faculty's expertise, our attention to diverse student needs and the spirit of experimentation with new concepts and technologies in arts. The Department enjoys a close working relationship with the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, located next door on campus. The Museum hosts changing exhibitions, lectures, and educational programs. Each year, senior art majors and minors present an exhibition of their work at the Museum. This capstone experience prepares studio majors to pursue a variety of art-related careers.

This month, join us at this year's studio senior pop-up exhibition, "Dissent," which features works by studio art seniors Andrea Czafit, Melissa Rodriguez, and Renee Sang and discusses current political problems within environments personal to the artists.

Renee Sang's work features a series of photographs related to direct advocacy for the fight to save Split Oak Forest. Sang works her lens to highlight the area's irreplaceable character and rich source of biodiversity. The varied life of Split Oak Forest appears in Sang's work as stringent details of cracks, splits, and tree markings. Sang also covers the politicized nature of the fight to save the forest and how that fits into a broader context of the destruction of public lands and the natural environment.

Melissa Rodriguez tackles the subjugation of her female/feminine Colombian identity with a series of performative self-portraits. She utilizes typical Latinx depictions in Western media to influence her imagery. As a Colombian woman, Rodriguez feels like media representations of herself can never escape the sexual, criminal, and exoticized stereotypes.

Andrea Czafit features a section of Downtown Sanford - West Streets - as the subject of her work. By presenting various collective and individual identities of this lower-income, mostly minority-populated area, she questions the biases of racial and class stereotypes with the aim of dismantling prejudices held by the outer middle-class community.

To view these students' empowering works, which will be exhibited for a limited time from November 17th to 20th, visit Dissent within Room 103 of the Cornell Fine Arts Center, adjacent to the Cornell Fine Arts Museum.
